Once we have played it we will set it to the right of the record stand for you to collect. If you leave before we play your record then feel free to grab it out of the queue.

Dear Dads, thanks for showing your sons that manliness is about compassion, respect, and understanding. Thank you for raising strong daughters that aren’t confined to any glass ceilings. And for making sure your children across the spectrum are deeply loved and know their worth.

Being a dad is no easy task, especially when you have worthless nipples. But you rise up and grab that bottle in the middle of the night, you rise up and take your kid on the 9pm CVS run to grab their poster board for their school project, you rise up and remind your teenagers for the millionth time that showering will help them be successful in life!

Here’s to the dads! To celebrate you we will have a secret “Dad’s only” tap in the tasting room with discounted pours. And we love you dads, so trust us when we say it’s going to be a beer worth getting.

The tasting room will be closing at 6pm on Father’s Day.

The Speciation party planning committee (which at its worst is a toxic, political club used to make others feel miserable and left out and at its best, it plans parties) is proud to bring you the Office Party Party.

What’s the theme? There is always a theme...

The Office Party Party is kind of like a kid’s birthday party. And you go, and there’s really nothing for you to do there, but the kid’s having a really good time, so you're, you're kinda there. That's...that's kinda what it's like.

Complete with Dundie Awards, discounts for finders of the 4 Golden Tickets, party decorations and so many Office memes.

Single session Dungeon Crawl Classics game open to anyone and everyone. It will be an old-school, fast, fun, rules-light Pen and Paper Roleplaying Experience well suited to new players and RPG veterans alike. You don't need to know anything about the rules and you don't need to bring anything other than a thirst for adventure and beer.

$1 off beers for players and watchers!
